Abstract
A system for supplying a slurry includes a hopper having a lower portion tapering to an outlet at its lower end. A liquid is supplied to the hopper interior along a wall of the lower portion in a direction having a horizontal component. Particulate material feeding from a main portion of the hopper into the lower portion becomes entrained in the liquid, thus forming the slurry.
